Christmas in paradise

I had a wonderful Christmas - not in your traditional around the Christmas tree with the family kinda way, but in the "I always wanted to spend a different Christmas, if possible on the beach, hanging out with friends and cool new people" kinda way!

Decorated the Christmas palm, got a tan, ate fish for Christmas dinner, over relaxed, got bitten by mosquitoes, missed my guy, friends and family back home, relaxed some more, faced the big waves a bit, walked to a secret not so secret beach, got a present from my secret not so secret Santa, celebrated a really worldly Christmas with cool people from South Africa, US, Venezuela, Lithuania, Germany, Serbia, Finland, Syria, Belgium, discovered different ways of life, smoked loads of shisha (narghila) thanks to Basil, talked to a pole (that was the only spot with mobile connection), went in a quest for tutles in the middle of the night and almost saw a big one laying her eggs. :-P
